Women's fragrances KENZO

KENZO was founded in Paris in 1970 by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada. After moving to France, the young designer brought a very different cultural sensibility into European fashion through relaxed shapes, vivid color, flowers, prints and an instinctive blending of influences from different parts of the world. His Maison became a meeting point between France and Japan from the beginning. The same dialogue could even be seen in Takada's Paris home, where Japanese tea culture, shoji screens and a traditional garden existed within the creative life of Paris.

A defining idea behind KENZO was to make the world feel more beautiful through cultural diversity, nature and joy. LVMH describes the heritage through youth, flowers, color, poetry, dreams and freedom balanced by distinctly Japanese craftsmanship and discipline. The fragrance direction developed from the late 1980s and naturally extended this worldview through recurring ideas of nature, water, flowers, freshness and cultural exchange. KENZO luxury is therefore neither heavy nor ceremonial; it feels bright, playful and optimistic, bringing Japanese sensitivity together with the freedom of Paris.
